Strictly City Synergy
19th October 2013

City Synergy celebrated Strictly Come Dancing
with a one-off tribute evening requiring members to show off their ballroom
dancing skills, plus some variations that would have judge Len Goodman
waltzing on his walnuts. Was Iris moonwalking? Had Paul really twisted his
ankle only a week before he swept his partner across the floor? When the
salsa rhythms stuck up, we danced again as Valerie had taught us years
previously (funnily enough, for other Latin American styles it a case of
Samba, you have forgotten me).

It was syncopate or swim as City Synergy members
choreographed dances with string puppets and then, in a finale, danced with
celebrity guests Ola and Kristina (see pictures of the lovelies from the
show). Martin had such a close hold of Ola, the mop-haired lovely, that he
brushed with a restraining order, and now has a restraining order with a
brush.

A great evening that exceeded all expectations.
Thanks to everyone who joined in so enthusiastically.

Our thanks to Chris & Jonathan, our hosts for
the evening and to Keith Trampleasure and Maya Mendez our judges, Darcey
Bussell may need to watch out as Maya would make a perfect replacement
